Oliver Clayton Royal is forty-nine months old!

Whenever I take Oliver's monthly pictures, I always capture a host of emotions. Where did the days go when all I had to do was say his name in an excited voice to get a genuine smile???

forced smiles

Do I really have to do this pouts

If I show my teeth, I'm smiling smiles

I think I'm really cute smiles

Are we through yet smiles

Really, another smile???

How about this Mommy?

Almost there smiles

Now there is a cute one!

And another one to boot!
